In the BEx Query Designer there are two areas where
characteristics can be restricted (filtered). What are differences between
them?

As example this is simple BEx query having
characteristics called “BI Appl. Obj. Type” placed at Filter->“Characteristic
restriction” area and “InfoProvider Type” at “Default Values” area.

If a characteristic restricted in the “Default Values” area
-> users can override the variable value or values at runtime. In the query
runtime more values can be pulled into the restriction.

In case the characteristic restricted in “Characteristic
restriction” area -> in the query runtime only values which were placed to
the filter during query design time can be further restricted but no new values
can be added.
